Living in Eastern Iowa. It's Hawkeye everything over here.
Just struggling with another double digit collapse. We're now having to listen to Squawks talk about how great they are.
...it's getting old.

The result of this game has been hard for me to take. I feel too damn sad for it being just a football game. You see...I live in Eastern Iowa. It's Hawkeye everything over here.
...it's horrible when these 2 teams meet and Iowa wins. Hawk fans are insufferable. People say Cornhuskers are worse. Maybe they are. But those Nebraskans don't suck the soul out of a person like Hawkeye fans do. Can anyone from my Cyclone Fanatic family give me some encouragement here please. Thanks. Just struggling with another double digit collapse.

They do.

Well Iowa fans over there aren't going to talk about this game for 51 weeks so you should be fine.

I grew up in Eastern Iowa and grew up an Iowa fan. Try to ignore them the best you can. The respectful ones (they do exist) will be good to talk with. Also, its just a game, it has no bearing on your life.

Honestly? Grow a pair. Our players are feeling more pain than you can know. They left hearts and souls and sweat and blood (many of them anyway) and you just watched a game where you had nothing at risk other than your psyche.

I love me my Cyclones but sport are nothing more than a diversion from real life.

Don't let them see they're bothering you and they'll stop. If they see they're getting to you they're going to keep teasing you about it.

I live in eastern Iowa, and it can be bad, but there shouldn't be too much crowing from them after a battle like that. They are a tough team, I respect that. Would have been nice to win to keep some of their moronic fans at bay. The smart fans know they were fortune to get the win today.

Move to California. 15 years here in Nor Cal and I've only run across two hawks. **** Iowa. I'm already looking forward to Akron, and then after that our tour through the Big XII.

I live in Easten Iowa. Nothing I'm not used to with being a Cyclone fan. Will go to work Monday, get razzed a bit, and move on. Tough losses aren't anything new for us.

Congratulate them. Say you are happy Kirk finally gets to say he has a winning record against ISU. It only took him 19 years of trying to be able to say that. Then ask them if they think he will finally retire now he has achieved that long elusive goal.

When exactly was the last time we blew a double digit lead against Iowa?
